Closure for ostomy pouch and method thereof

An ostomy closure for sealing an ostomy pouch after removal from an ostomy mounting plate, the ostomy mounting plate securing to an individual, a plate flange securing to the ostomy mounting plate, a plate locking member integral to the plate flange, a plate orifice positioning within the plate flange and traversing the ostomy mounting plate, the ostomy pouch having a first flexible layer coupling to a second flexible layer for defining an ostomy chamber, a pouch flange securing to the first flexible layer, a pouch locking member integral to the pouch flange, a pouch orifice positioning within the pouch flange and traversing the first flexible layer, the pouch flange engaging with the plate flange and the pouch locking member engaging with the plate locking member for conveying stool from the individual to the ostomy chamber, the pouch flange disengaging with the plate flange for dispose of the stool, the ostomy closure, comprising:

• a cap flange defining a cap flange aperture;
• a cap locking member integral to said cap flange;
• a cap lip defining an interior surface and an exterior surface extending from said cap flange;
• a flexible sheet defining an interior surface and an exterior surface;
• said interior surface of said flexible sheet coupled to said cap flange for covering said cap flange aperture;
• said cap flange coupling with the pouch flange for positioning said flexible sheet over the pouch orifice and defining a sealing closure;
• said sealing closure maintaining the stool and the stool odor within the ostomy chamber;
• said cap locking member engaging with the pouch locking member for defining a locking closure;
• and
• said locking closure preventing inadvertent removal of said cap flange from the pouch flange.

A sheet of ostomy closures for sealing a plurality of ostomy pouches, the plurality of ostomy closures engaging with the plurality of ostomy pouches after removal from an ostomy mounting plate, the ostomy mounting plate securing to an individual, a plate flange securing to the ostomy mounting plate, a plate locking member integral to the plate flange, a plate orifice positioning within the plate flange and traversing the ostomy mounting plate, the ostomy pouch having a first flexible layer coupling to a second flexible layer for defining an ostomy chamber, a pouch flange securing to the first flexible layer, a pouch locking member integral to the pouch flange, a pouch orifice positioning within the pouch flange and traversing the first flexible layer, the pouch flange engaging with the plate flange and the pouch locking member engaging with the plate locking member for conveying stool from the individual to the ostomy chamber, the pouch flange disengaging with the plate flange for dispose of the stool, the sheet of ostomy closures, comprising:

• a plurality of cap bodies defining an interior surface and an exterior surface extending to a peripheral edge;
• a plurality of cap flanges coupling to said peripheral edge of said plurality of cap bodies and extending from said interior surface of said plurality of cap bodies;
• a plurality of cap locking members integral to said plurality of cap flanges;
• a plurality of cap lips defining an interior surface and an exterior surface extending from said plurality of cap flanges for manipulating said plurality of cap bodies and said plurality of cap flanges;
• a perforated edge traversing said plurality of cap bodies for assisting in the separation of each of said plurality of cap bodies;
• each of said plurality of cap flanges coupling with the pouch flange for positioning each of said plurality of cap bodies over the pouch orifice and defining a sealing closure;
• said sealing closure maintaining the stool and the stool odor within the ostomy chamber;
• each of said plurality of cap locking members engaging with the pouch locking member for defining a locking closure;
• and
• said locking closure preventing inadvertent removal of said plurality of cap flanges from the pouch flange.

A method for utilizing an ostomy closure for sealing an ostomy pouch, the ostomy mounting plate securing to an individual, a plate flange securing to the ostomy mounting plate, a plate locking member integral to the plate flange, a plate flange orifice positioning within the plate flange and traversing the ostomy mounting plate, the ostomy pouch having a first flexible layer coupling to a second flexible layer for defining an ostomy chamber, a pouch flange securing to the first flexible layer, a pouch locking member integral to the pouch flange, a pouch flange orifice positioning within the pouch flange and traversing the first flexible layer, the pouch flange engaging with the plate flange and the pouch locking member engaging with the plate locking member for conveying stool from the individual to the ostomy chamber, the method comprising the steps of:

• disengaging the pouch locking member from the plate locking member;
• disengaging the pouch flange from the plate flange;
• engaging a cap flange with the pouch flange for positioning a cap body over the pouch orifice and maintaining the stool and the stool odor within the ostomy chamber;
• and
• engaging a cap locking member with the pouch locking member for preventing inadvertent removal of said cap flange from the pouch flange.
